Kobe sounds bitter no matter how he coats his jabs. Looks like he's in desperate need of attention now that he's out of the limelight and out for the rest of the season.

I think it goes deeper than him being just bitter. I think he is aware that he probably wouldn't have changed the outcome even if he was at his best. I use to hate Kobe, but grew to respect his work ethic and drive for the game. Now he is just hating. Well after years of going through agonizing pain (in regards to fandom and not being able to retaliate when other fans are talking smack other than saying well at least you know I'm not a bandwagon fan) in the world of the NBA as a Clipper fan and only getting teased with success someone should let Kobe know this is just the beginning. He will be dreaming of Smush Parker and begging Kwame to come play with him next year.

Now he knows? ...he didn't get that feeling when we swept his $100,000,000 "all-star" team last year?

Thanks for the bulletin board material, Kobrick! Can't wait to see how much we beat the Lakers by next time - 60? 70?

Oh, and did he forget how close he was to signing with us before the Lakers finally caved in to his demands to trade Shaq?

Yet another reason why that classless, rapist punk Kobrick will always be my most hated player of all time.

I've been a Clipper fan for quite a long time and I don't think Kobe understands what it's been like to be a Clipper fan. Laker fans are just starting to get a taste of it.

Midseason draft threads that are longer than game day threads.

Watching the bottom teams in the league, hoping they win and your team loses so you can get a better pick

Getting excited when a journeyman that is borderline NBA/NBDL has a big night, thinking your team just found a diamond in the rough.

Being pissed that player isn't performing well a week later.

"Oh, you're a Clipper fan? I'm sorry!"

Wondering why the free agents keep signing elsewhere, then getting excited about a mediocre signing later in July/early August.

Getting pissed when your own free agent decides to seek out greener pastures.

Silly Kobe, we never lost to our co-tenant by 48. Your situation is much worse than ours was.

You guys seem surprised. It's totally his character. The lakers/him got stomped on, he has to protect his fragile psyche (it motivates him to be the best) and resorts to old lame jokes.

someone on reddit compared it to losing weight.

The down years for a Clips fan is like being overweight, suffering, and being constantly insulted for years. Then finally when you lose weight, someone tries to remind you of how fat you were.

Many Lakers fans don't know what it's like to suffer. Really, they're just complaining about a little holiday weight.

I'm not surprised at all. Kobrick is a fake, phony "competitor." Whenever he loses, he spouts cliches about how hard he works and how he's focused on winning while subtly deflecting all blame to teammates, coaches, and the front office. In reality, his actions over the years show he cares about himself far more than he cares about winning. But the media still laps up his fake-ass persona anyway.

Kobe was not trolling. I don't think he was salty. Could it be maybe we don't want to accept his sincerity? The Clippers struggled for many years while Kobe was out getting rings. Now he knows what it's like. He does. Can we not commiserate with him?

@WGreen, you are funny. I should have figured you to be a troll. After reading your hilarious posts on the game thread and your defense of Kobe, it all comes together quite clearly. You are a Lakers fan that switched to the Bay area team during the hard times. Are you scoping us out so you can jump ship anytime? Is this just a temporary thing and if the Flakers get the first pick you go back?

I wanted to join the Kobe bashing bandwagon but you know what,in reality I put the guy in my rearview mirror months ago and really don't care about him, his tweets or his rants. he is done, he is history, he is irrelevant now and he needs to look in a mirror and really assess where he is in life. He works for a dysfunctional team with a really dysfunctional front office. As long as they have their internal wars, the Fakers are just another version of the Kings. Best thing for Kobe and that team is for the Buss family to recognize they are failures and sell the team, take the money, and run.

What I DO care more about then the almost worst team in the league is my team, our health, and getting a great playoff seating so we can whup up on other teams.

Really? Just because he was hurt all year doesn't mean he's done. Yes he's older now, but Kobe is a very smart player. I just don't get how you can count Kobe out like that. He was averaging 27 a game before the woeful injury. He can still be very good. And regardless, the guy has 5 rings and more money that he knows what to do with. Kobe will never be irrelevant, in fact he'll always be very relevant. That's why he was an all star this year, or at least got voted in. Don't be a hater.

I'm just calling it how I see it. I don't mind the banter with you, I find it extremely entertaining. I just would never suspect a true Oakland fan defending Kobe, just as I wouldn't suspect an old school Bulls fan defending Isaiah or Spike Lee sticking up for Reggie Miller. It's not just giving props to their game, but actually defending Kobe when he is known to throw barbs and was obviously throwing one out in that tweet. If it was a sincere tweet and trying to get sympathy as a once great player on a terribly bad team; it wouldn't have matched anything else the guy has been saying in the last few.

Maybe the title of this thread should be changed from "Kobe Trolls Clipper Fans" ,to "Kobe and B*** hurt Warrior fans troll Clipper fans".

Taking up half his team's cap space, then blaming the brass for him not having anybody good to play with. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Kobrick just doesn't get it. He's an overpaid, washed-up benchwarmer, he doesn't get to make demands.

This is just him trying to deflect all blame for this shitpile of a season away from himself. Never mind the fact that Kobrick forced the Lakers to tank by making a concerted effort to force Dwight out of town all last year - it's all the front office's fault for not making moves that are impossible with his fat contract hogging all the cap space!

Guys you are missing the point. Kobe Bryant is a jackass of the first magnitude. He's a rude spoiled child with no manners or respect. He is also one of the 10 (arguably) best players ever with five rings. He wanted to and I hoped he would, go out in a blaze of glory. You have to give the devil his due. He single handedly willed the Lakers into the playoffs. His work ethic as compared to his personal ethics are super human. He's now looking at returning, past his prime with wheels that may not roll with a lottery team. Yes he's bitter. He may retire. I ignore his jackaass personality but I applaud him as a player and I understand why he's saying what he is. I don't say I agree. Cut him some slack. Also isn't what he said correct?

Revere the player ignore the person. Also i think it was Tense who posted the $$ on endorsements. Kobe got $24 mill. If he loves the Lakers why did he ask for another $24 mill? Jackass

Kobrick is the most overrated player of all time.

Fact: Kobrick has won nothing ever without Phil as coach and the most stacked frontcourt in the league. Kobrick forced his way to the Lakers on draft day because he knew full well that he wasn't going to win **** without a ridiculous amount of help. Even then, his ego has driven him to ruin entire seasons with his chucking (2004, last year).

Fact: Kobrick missed the playoffs in his prime, something that players he's often compared to (LeBron, Duncan) haven't done. Sure, he "won" as a role player on Shaq and Pau's teams, but as the first option, he was just like Kevin Love: empty stats on mediocre teams.

Fact: Kobrick holds the record for most bricks in NBA history when postseason stats are added in. He has always been an inefficient ballhog.

Sorry, but I refuse to "revere" Kobrick the player. Even ignoring his off-the-court history, just looking at on the court, he represents everything wrong with basketball. If he didn't push the easy button on his career by forcing a draft-day trade to the Lakers, he wouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as "top 10 all-time."

The amount of hate on here for Kobe is pretty comical. I'm in. Jo way a Lakers fan, but the fact is that Kobe is an amazing player. He wasn't a role player on Paus team. Pau came to his team. He has the hardest work ethic in the game.

The fact that he made a clipper joke and it's setting everyone off shouldn't be that insulting to everyone. It's a fact. We used to be one of the worst franchises in SPORTS, not just basketball. We need to get off the high horse acting like we have always been this good. This is a good new clippers era, but we were mostly a joke before Kobe said anything.

I like what Petros said,to paraphrase after Kobricks rant,"Kobe is mad at the Laker front office for doing what Kobe asked them to do".
